The quest for the #Magnificent8 continues! This time, our team journeyed to the stunning Lago de Sanabria in search of two elusive #Magnificent8 lineages, known to our project as Freship1 and Freship2. Huge kudos to our dedicated scientists Marina, Alicia, and Rubén who led the

Always a pleasure to have Félix and his students @carmelitestgn visit the lab & the institute!
📣 Aquesta setmana, l'alumnat de Carmelites Tarragona ha visitat l'@IBE_Barcelona! Han descobert els secrets de l’arbre de la vida amb el #Treescape 🧩 i han explorat els laboratoris de @multicellgenome 🦠 i de Mutation Dynamics 🔬. #DesxifrantEvolució #DescobrintVida

We also performed functional validation of across different eukaryotic clades, including the discovery of plasmalogens in our beloved #ichthyosporean Chromosphaera perkinsii!! #evolution

Eukaryotic membranes: a Bacterial gift? We reveal the genes for #Plasmalogens were acquired by early eukaryotes from Myxobacteria via #HGT. A nice collaboration with Montse Elias, Padhu & many others. https://t.co/0LVQ4Yd5Yu

Everything about this workshop is so much fun!! #multicellverse #emboworkshop
And for the online participants we had the first round of Backstage Interviews led by Vika interviewing Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo and Laura Nuño de la Rosa. #Multicellverse @multicellgenome

How did life become multicellular? 🦠🔎 Five simple organisms could hold the answer! 🗨️ Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo and Elena Casacuberta from @multicellgenome talk in @Nature about their research on the origins of multicellularity at @IBE_Barcelona. 👉 https://t.co/8SP1eDBGN5

What you're looking at is a brand new protist species! 🤯🔬 Isn't it beautiful? This image is just a glimpse of what's to come. We can't wait to share our full findings soon, in partnership with @beaplab_ibe @Luisjagago. Stay tuned! #NewSpecies #Science #protists #diversity

More on the ancient foundation of animal development. Coyle & King illustrate how core regulatory modules, like RFX-ciliogenesis and Myc:Max-cell proliferation, were present in our pre-animal ancestors. The key was not invention, but recycling & new protein

We couldn't imagine a better way to send off the incredible @MartonaAlvarez than with black paella and sea views! 🥘 Marta, thanks for everything! We will be cheering you on every step of the way. 🥰🥰🥰 #science #farewell #newbeginnings #teamwork #academialife

Congrats Haillot & the whole @UlrichTechnau @TechnauLab! Another brilliant example of how we shouldn't assume simplicity in non-bilaterian animals. Triploblasty’s roots seem to run older than we thought! Nice to see a crosstalk between MAPK, β-catenin & Notch to define germ cell

wow! A huge congratulations to @StevenHaddock, whose work I have admired for years! This book looks absolutely gorgeous and, as a huge fan of #bioluminescenc and #diversity, I'll definitely be getting a copy for the lab. A must-see for anyone who loves the ocean and science!
Our photo+science book The Radiant Sea comes out this week! It is not quite like your typical coffee-table ocean book, and shows in the organisms in a different "light" #bioluminescent. 🌊🦑 https://t.co/nkLMCRoUHU

Her contributions were essential to improve the genomes of our organisms (#ichthyosporeans), get more information on the evolution of transcription factors, and get amazing data on the evolution of genomic regulation on pre-metazoans. She also supervised 3 master students!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, @MartonaAlvarez! For your groundbreaking work on #protists, your incredible talent, your passion, and your kindness. For being the same amazing Marta I met nearly 30 years ago. We've loved every moment of these last 29 months with you in the lab! 🥰🥰 We have

Complex behaviour is not limited to animals! Here we map the spectrum of waveforms on a quadriflagellate single cell with 4x 70um (!) #cilia, to a low dimensional behavioural manifold with surprising structure! #protists All revealed in our new preprint https://t.co/ygGma00oC2
